Chapter 179: Aging the Old

It's not that I'm greedy for food, it's just that in this wilderness, there are many dangers, and my life hangs by a thread, if it was a nine-tailed white fox just now, I was almost strangled to death, the more I put my head on my trouser pocket, the more I want to enjoy what I should enjoy, so that even if I die, I don't want to be a ghost.

Since the ever-bright lamp can be lit under this cellar, it means that there is enough oxygen here, and there must be other vents with enough oxygen, and the principle is quite similar to the tunnel under our post station, so it is not much to do with the fire here to cook, except for the smoke is a little bigger, so I dug a pit in the ground, took some relatively useless paper as an introduction, and found some dry wood to prepare for the fire.

The iron pot was set on top, and when the fire in the pit was boiled, the water from the military pot was poured into it, and I couldn't wait to open a bottle of wine, and immediately the room was filled with a strong smell of wine, and I was about to take a sip and taste it first, but Bai Lu smiled and took it first, and mixed it with water in the pot a little.

Five hundred years of aging is poured into this pot, and immediately it is full of fragrance, under this smell, any other spice looks pale and tasteless, Bai Lu is not a loss of our cooking master, this crab may have been dead for a long time, it is no longer fresh, and her cooking method is to put a few small stones in stainless steel, the stones are higher than the water in the pot.

Then put the dead crab on it, and then find something to cover the pot, it will form a steaming trend, so that the wine into the flavor, the wine stewed river crab, can also remove the unfreshness, more moisture and taste.

So while the situation outside is about to erupt, we are here to enjoy the wine and food first, which is really disrespectful to our opponents.

Wine stewed crab takes more time, crab meat can be cooked through, so this time we can only wait, look at the fire, idle is also idle, I did not hold back the strong smell of the wine, cooing first drank a sip, suddenly the mouth of the wine is overflowing, the taste is excellent, the rich wine flavor is a faint mountain fruit flavor, due to the age, this mouthful is particularly up, I feel that the whole person is shocked, and then it is the aftertaste.

It's just a little bit of an impact on the taste, that is, there is an extra earthy taste, maybe it's because it's been left for too long.

"Brother Zhou Bo, drink less, we still have business to discuss." Bai Lu said.

"Anyway, those wooden people outside can't find it for a while, don't worry. He has worked hard for so long, busy with our survival, often on the line of life and death, it is rare for him to be in good mood today, so why not let him drink more. Yun Wen said, smiling at me.

I was a little embarrassed to hear it, although it was a fact, but I was so proud of these glasses, I was too sorry for Yunwen's praise, so I put it down, thinking that the wine couldn't run anyway, and I would drink it when I was free, and I would do the right thing first.

"Ahem, it's okay, I'm just trying it, after all, the army doesn't allow casual drinking, I started to drink like my dad when I was just an adult, I have nothing to drink two sips, I love to drink, but until now, I don't know how long I haven't drunk it, and I can't help but be greedy when I see such a good wine." I scratched my neck and said.

The two girls smiled and didn't blame any more.

Greedy cup to greedy cup, on this desert island on the line of life and death, it is not possible to be so foolish, and I began to sort out useful information next, the question is very simple, what I want to know most is nothing more than three points, who are those wooden people? What is the purpose? Where did it come from?

In response to my question, the documents in the basement are basically recorded, but all the volumes on the shelves are useless, only the two pages on the table are particularly clear, and these words Bai Lu translated them to me one by one, looking at me while talking, because it is a matter of life and death, she urged me, afraid that I would not pay attention to it, but I had already heard it with horror, how could I not pay attention to it.

It turned out that after the abyss accident of the post station in the Milongying, the chief and deputy envoys disagreed, and the relationship broke down, and the deputy envoy Wang Gang suggested that the Yin Eclipse Pot should be dedicated to the royal family for a mission, so that the brothers could return to their hometown and reunite their families, but Li Mufeng thought that if the Yin Eclipse Pot fell into the hands of the royal family of that year, the Ming Kingdom would be devastated, and countless men and women would suffer from its cholera, and he did not want the empire to fall into the chaos of self-harming compatriots, so he did not agree.

The Yin Eclipse Pot is also known as the Refining Corpse Bottle, refining the living human corpse, is to prolong life through some special sacrifice to swallow the crystallization of the corpse, this is the act of rebellion against the sky, but the deputy envoy is anxious to return, do not want to be trapped on this island, the people behind the scenes have issued an order, if it is not to find the object, not to return to Beijing, presumably it is the Seal Holy Decree said, so Wang Gang intended to cause a rebellion, Li Mufeng was notified by his subordinates in advance, so he took away the Yin Erosion Bottle, hid in the Claw Dragon Mountain, and disappeared.

The deputy envoy Wang Gang was angry, knowing that there was no hope of going back, so he could only find the whereabouts of Li Xia while thinking about another way to return to Beijing for an immortal life, until he heard that there was an ancient city in which there was a secret method, as long as the person was used as a sacrifice to sacrifice the spirit river in the city, dedicated to the antelope witch, it could be exchanged for life, saying that this method could be tried, so the deputy envoy took his subordinates to sacrifice to the river, and it really came true, the body had all kinds of strength available, and cut off the wound and healed immediately.

After Wang Gang indulged in it, he was already happy, and often used living creatures to sacrifice to Linghanoi, which contributed to addiction, but the good times did not last long, and then everyone suffered from pink eye, and could not see the light in the daytime, otherwise it would burn the skin, and over time, everyone noticed the strangeness, sought a way to get rid of it, and finally found, recorded in the cave on the top of the mountain, the pattern was drawn and said that only the Yin Erosion Pot could solve the symptoms.

In despair, there are no living creatures to sacrifice, their bodies are decaying day by day, maggots grow, but only they do not die, and some subordinates mentioned a way, that is, to build the bodies of the people with wood, so that they are not afraid of the sun, they can move freely, they can go out during the day to find living creatures, and come back to use sacrifices to slow down the pain of decay.

He called the craftsman Sun Yong in the camp, ordered him to configure, build the bodies of all the people up to 100 bodies, went to the post station to set up a wooden trap, and wanted the descendants to be attracted to this Xiying City, and let them use it for sacrifice in vain, but people are not as good as the sky, just after the deputy envoy and his subordinates finished everything, there was a subordinate called He Kui, coaxed everyone to say that there were other ways to solve the disease in the cave, and after tricking them into the cave, he touched the switch, and immediately closed the door of the King Kong Broken Wall Stone, and locked everyone in it.

After that, He Kui was nowhere to be found, and after the author wrote these in this dark place, he went out and committed suicide.

After hearing this, I had mixed feelings, sighed for a long time, and said: "So later, He Kui's predecessors originally planned to commit suicide in the Spirit River, but they never thought that the river water would save his life and survive for so long, and those wooden people were really locked up in the cave five hundred years ago, so they came from the cave on the top of the mountain, and the purpose was to throw us into the river again to sacrifice?" Can't get enough of this routine? ”

At this time, the steamed crab was also fully cooked, Yun Wen and Bai Lu took it out together, exactly three, one in one person's hand, when it was too nutritious and uneven recently, make up for protein.

"It is mentioned in the volume that the pain of daily heart erosion, day and night, is so tormented, of course, I will want to get rid of it." Yun Wen said.

"Then why did He Kui, who was also a wooden man, die, but these wooden people didn't? Is there anything in the volume? I asked.

"I didn't say it. It's true that good people don't live long, and bad people live for thousands of years. Yun Wen said regretfully.

"Brother Zhou Bo, don't worry about this for now, after you listen to what we told you, do you have a way for us to get rid of these wooden people and get out safely? And also... Is there any way to find Yingchun under such conditions? Bai Lu asked.

I almost choked on crab meat, and Yun Wen couldn't help frowning.
